March, 2009 - Vance County Courthouse, Henderson NC Left to right: Jacque Esslinger - Chair, Kevin Osborne - Vice Chair, Judy Satterwhite - Secretary, Richard Esslinger-Treasurer (not pictured) During a passionate Vance County Republican Party Convention for 2009, new leadership was elected that will carry the Vance County GOP into the new era of technology, and principled grassroots activism. Resolutions that met approval included 10th Amendment State Sovereignty, protecting the citizen's right to bear arms against Federal intervention, and informing our Congressional and Executive leadership that we will not stand by silent while the fundamental principles of the American Republic are eroded from beneath us. Speakers included Chad Adams and Marcus Kindley, candidates for NC GOP Chairman. Delegates were elected to proceed to the District and State GOP Conventions. One of the primary items to come out of the Vance County Convention, was a renewed conviction to demand an adherence to conservative principles, regardless of the party holding office, and a renewed commitment to work from the grassroots up to restore the Constitutional Order. Also noteworthy was a profound commitment displayed by all present to work towards full inclusion from the grassroots up, towards building a stronger, more representative Vance County Republican Party.
